Question 1 Looking at the response vehicles (pictured above), explain two options you have in order to abide by the Move Over law. To abide by the Move Over law in the picture, when approaching a maintenance truck or road work, move to the adjacent lane/change lanes to give the site space/safety, and slow down to also be safe. Question 2 Looking at the misty rain and fog (pictured above), explain at least two defensive driving techniques you would utilize to adjust your driving and lower your risk. Some defensive driving techniques i could use to lower my risk in driving in a setting like the picture would be to drive slowly (because of any wet/slippery/moist roads from the mist), turn on my low beams to help navigate through any thick fog, increase my following distance between cars to be safe when stopping, and to scan and check my blindspots repeatedly to be aware of my surroundings and safety. Question 3 When you learned about the Highway Transportation system you learned about 6 different types of people as roadway users. Choose 3 and explain a safe driving skill response for each. - Passengers . When driving I would make sure my passengers understand my boundaries and acknowledge I need to focus for our safety. - Motorcyclist . When driving I would give them extra space/following distance, since they can quickly maneuver and get into my blindspot, and they have a shorter stopping distance. - Road Workers . When driving past a road work i would slow down and try to keep as much distance as not to disrupt their work or risk anyone's safety. Question 4 Identify 3 distractions for young drivers and explain how you plan to minimize these distractions. 1. Phones - texting while driving would most likely put a driver's safety at risk, so they can put it on Do Not Disturb/Driving Mode and store it in the glove compartment or center console to prevent easy reach. 2. Friends - when driving with friends the driver might also want to engage with the passengers and the passengers might be distracting, so the driver should
make sure they wear their seatbelts and understand one is driving and how you need to focus for all of the vehicle’s safety. 3. Any other distractions that might disrupt the drivers focus like music or eating , because when behind the wheel, one should only be driving.
